GUEST,Bernie Lyr Req: Goodnight and Joy (17) RE: Lyr Req: Goodnight and Joy 17 Jun 08


I have a variant of it on the 1984 LP "The Misty Mountain",by Scottish singers/players Billy Jackson and Billy Ross...
The liner notes just say "based on the "traditional" song of the same title,which was the work of a variety of authors.....written by Billy Ross to the tune of Lady Scott's "Durrisdeer"

GUID NICHT AND JOY BE WI' YE A'

The nicht is wearin'tae the wane
and day fades fast awa'
cauld blaws the wind on every stane
and dark the cloud cams doon the shaw

CHORUS

But let the wild winds toot and howl
another drappie 'caw
we'll hae a toast tae ye ma friens
Guid nicht and joy be wi' ye a'

For we hae travelled far and near
Ower mony's the frith and fell
and bonnie lassies we hae seen
tae kiss them,aye,and loe them well

We've drunk oor fill in hoose and ha'
blythe as beggars on the way
aftimes we drank a drap ower much
Aye,and lived tae fecht anither day
